1. A method for displaying information, comprising:
- receiving measurements, with respect to an invasive probe inside a body of a subject, of probe parameters comprising a force exerted by the probe on tissue of the subject and temperatures measured by sensors of the probe; and
responsively to the measurements, displaying in a single map on a display screen a graphical representation of a distribution of the temperatures in a vicinity of the probe and superimposing thereon a vector representation of the force.

7. Apparatus for displaying information, comprising:
-
a probe, configured to be inserted into a body of a subject; a force sensor attached to the probe, coupled to provide a force signal indicative of a force exerted by the probe on tissue of the subject; temperature sensors attached to the probe, coupled to provide temperature signals of temperatures in a vicinity of the probe; a display screen; and a processor coupled to receive the force signal and the temperature signals, to display in a single map on the display screen a graphical representation of a distribution of the temperatures, and to superimpose thereon a vector representation of the force. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
